Chen Chuan looked at Cheng Zhou. From his current mental state, he could certainly see that the old gentleman said this from the bottom of his heart, and was not deliberately trying to flatter or gain his favor because of Cheng Zitong.

It can be seen that this old man has to be strong all his life, and it is impossible to bow his head for something in principle. He will only be willing to lower his body unless it makes him feel that it is more important and worthwhile.

I am afraid that a large part of this old gentleman's respect for him at this moment comes from what he has done.

And it's not just because he is a fighter.

Cheng Zhou continued: "Director Chen came to visit for the first time and brought generous gifts. I should have greeted him well, but after seeing Director Chen, I felt something in my heart and wanted to talk to Director Chen. I don't know if I can.

?」

Chen Chuanhua: "Mr. Cheng, you are the master of the family, and today is your birthday party. Of course, this junior is willing to listen to your teachings."

"Don't take the teachings seriously. Just talk some nonsense, as long as Director Chen doesn't mind it." Cheng Zhou asked: "Director Chen, I heard that you are also from Yangzhi?"

Chen Chuan nodded.

"Then we are fellow villagers."

Cheng Zhou greeted the descendants of the Cheng family behind him and said, "Go and bring up my Lingyun tea."

"Okay, old man." The junior who was responsible for greeting the adults responded quickly.

Lingyun tea is not a top-notch tea, it's just an old tea produced in Yangzhi. They didn't prepare it before, so now they have to look for it for a while.

On Cheng Zitong's side, he looked at the Qiao Lin pot at the table, where he was drinking by himself, and looked at the latter with a smile.

Qiao Linhu's expression was slightly unnatural, and she subconsciously avoided his gaze.

But Cheng Zitong refused to let him go, saying: "Senior brother——Hey——" He waved his hand in front of him, "Here, here, don't look away.

Now Qiao Linhu couldn't pretend to be invisible. He put the cup down and said in a deep voice: "Junior brother, what do you want to do?"

"What you did, what you didn't want to do." Cheng Zitong looked strange, "I want to ask, why didn't you tell me that day, why did you just leave like that, so that I could see you off, senior brother. Senior brother, didn't you

Really, why do you think I ate too much of your rice?"

Qiao Linhu picked up the tea cup and took a sip. After putting it down, he said expressionlessly: "I had something to do that day and I was in a hurry.

It’s too late.”

"Oh? You're leaving too quickly."

Cheng Zitong nodded to express his understanding, "I heard that you are leaving with your apprentice in a hurry. Junior brother, I also understand that the apprentice has to be sent to the central city for training. Well, he must teach him well, especially as the apprentice, senior brother, is talented.

, after so long, there should be a third limit, right?"

He looked around and said, "Your apprentice is here today, right? Where is he?"

Qiao Linhu didn't want to answer at first, but Cheng Zitong's voice was a bit loud, and all the elders present looked over, and he said in a low voice: "He is not here."

"Oh, I'm not here." Cheng Zitong suddenly realized.

Qiao Linhu couldn't help but look up and said: "He will reach the third limit soon."

"It's almost the third limit," Cheng Zitong raised his thumbs in surprise: "Okay, at this age, it is rare in the central city. I was taught well by my senior brother. Where do you plan to go after you become a master? The Bureau or the Bureau

Wu Yi Academy? Or the army? I don’t say that, I...

Qiao Linhu couldn't sit still anymore, stood up suddenly, and walked out quickly without saying a word.

"Hey, senior brother, where are you going?"

The tea has been replaced at the main table. Cheng Zhou took a look at it and pretended he didn't see it. He invited Chen Chuan to drink tea, and he also picked up the teacup and said, "Director Chen may have heard of the old man's father's story."

Have you ever participated in the overthrow of the old imperial family?"

Chen Chuanchuan: "I heard the teacher talk about it."

Chengzhou said: "Actually, it was a last resort at that time. It was not out of any lofty ideals at the beginning.

It was at the end of the old dynasty that my father and grandfather were born, and the people were in dire straits. The family martial arts school could not continue to operate, so they returned to their hometown to work on the farm, even if they wanted to cultivate the land well.

I remember what my father told me, the imperial court bullied us, the landlords bullied us, the big business houses bullied us, and some foreigners also bullied us. At that time, there was no way to survive if we didn’t resist."

He said with emotion: "My grandfather had seven brothers, 23 descendants who got married, and 300 people from his hometown defected to the crusade. In the end, only 13 of them survived. At that time, only my grandfather and father were left in the family.

But what they wanted to see came true."

He put his hand on the table and said seriously: "No one will bully us anymore."

He shook his head again, "But is that really the case? It's just that the old man's family has stood high enough, so no one will bully him for the time being. But this matter is still there. All the old man can do is to restrain the old man's family from going.

Bully people.

I have worked hard all my life, but no matter how hard I try, the world seems to be the same as before. It seems that it has changed, but it seems that it has not changed.

Lao Cheng is a martial arts practitioner, and the only way he can think of is to cultivate a descendant who can carry the mysteries. In that case, he may be able to make changes, but the descendants and apprentices of Lao Cheng's family are not up to par, and none of them can succeed.

The old man has no ability and can only use the rules of the older generation to restrain the younger generation, because these old things have been proven to be useful from generation to generation. Even if some people are wronged, they have to endure it. Who doesn't live like this? Endure.

Now that I'm ahead, I'm clenching my fists."

As he said that, he punched out with a bang, "Only then did he have the confidence to punch out and shout out new rules."

He looked at Chen Chuanhuan: "I have seen the changes in Central City in the past two years. Director Chen, you are the one who does big things. Clearing out the poisonous tumors in the city and connecting the skyline are all my thoughts.

I admire those who do it but can't do it."

Chen Chuan said sincerely: "Mr. Cheng, I am where I am today thanks to Mr. Cheng's careful guidance and help to the younger generation."

Cheng Zhou nodded, glanced at Cheng Zitong at the other table, and said, "Xiao Tong, come here.

Cheng Zitong passed the certificate, but he didn't expect that Cheng Zhou would call him. He stood up, came to the table and sat down.

Chengzhou said: "You, your talents have never been as good as your elder brother, and I don't have high expectations for you. Even if you later teach others, my father is afraid that you will teach the wrong people. But, you may have some ability to teach others."

ability,

But if you’re not very capable and can’t overpower others, then what can you do if the people you teach don’t compete with you?

Ability can be taught but not learned, that’s not the case.”

Cheng Zitong said: "Dad, you are old-fashioned. The new era has its own rules. Nowadays, we are not the only ones getting married. We cannot accept the students we have taught. There will also be people who will accept them on our behalf. Besides, dad

You can’t just think about the bad things, can’t you also think about the good things?”

Chengzhou nodded and said, "In this matter, Xiaotong, it was my father who made the mistake."

When Cheng Zitong heard what his father said, he was caught off guard and couldn't believe it. He couldn't help but look at his father in confusion.

Cheng Zhou looked at him and said slowly: "Dad's ideas are old-fashioned. The students you teach are far better than all the students taught by Lao Cheng's family. Dad is not as good as you, and your senior brothers are not as good as you."

Nariko thought about it for a moment, his mood was a little agitated and uncontrollable, and his eyes were faintly hot. He didn't know how many years he had been waiting for this sentence, and he said: "Dad——"

Cheng Zhou patted the table gently and said, "Today is your father's and my birthday party, please bear with me."

Cheng Zitong hurriedly raised his head and sniffed. After a while, he regained his apparent calm. He coughed and said, "Dad, can you say those few words just now? My son wants to hear them again."

—..."

Cheng Zhou said: "Jie Ping secretly recorded it, go back and listen to it yourself."

Cheng Zitong smiled and said, "Dad, please remind your son. He just came to Central City and he almost forgot how to use this thing."

Chengzhou said: "Then stay a few more days and talk to your father."

Cheng Zitong smiled and said: "Dad, didn't I take a whole year off? I just want to go home to see my old family and find some memories of the past. Elders and brothers, my son, I also want to go for a walk.

.”

As he said that, he was about to stand up.

Chengzhou looked up at him: "Where are you going?"

Cheng Zitong pointed to another table, "Dad, I'll go sit at my place."

Cheng Zhou gestured: "Just sit here."

"No, then these rules——" Nariko Toichi.

Chengzhou said: "Some rules will no longer be rules after today."

Cheng Zitong smiled and said, "Okay, dad, wait a minute. I'll call Xiao Ke in. We're here together. I can't just leave him out alone, right? Dad, Xiao Chuan, you guys continue talking."

With that said, he turned around and walked out.

Cheng Zhou shook his head and looked at Chen Chuan, "It made Director Chen laugh."

Chen Chuanchuan said: "If the teacher and the old man can live in harmony, the younger generation will only be happy. If I offended someone today, I hope the old man will not blame me."

Cheng Zhou said: "Director Chen's words are serious. Actually, I have to thank you. Without you, I'm afraid my son would not be able to come back today."

Chen Chuanchuan: "If I had not become a teacher, I would not be where I am today as a junior.'

Chengzhou nodded unconsciously.

At another table, Cheng Shang and his eldest son Cheng Zisheng sat together. The latter looked at it and said,

Said: "Dad, Third Uncle said more tonight than in ten days and a half months combined, and he seems quite happy."

Cheng Shang sighed and said, "This is a good thing. You third uncles, don't look serious on the outside, but you are happy in your heart."

Cheng Zisheng said: "I never thought that the relationship between Director Chen and Third Brother would be so good? Director Chen didn't post a post to become a disciple, he was just his student."
